Chevrolet of Bucyrus – AWD Traction and Cargo Flexibility — The 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer for Columbus, OH Life

If you want a small SUV that can handle slick winter mornings and still carry a surprising amount of gear, the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer deserves a top spot on your list. Its available AWD and three selectable drive modes work seamlessly to adapt traction and throttle response, while the standard fold-flat front passenger seat allows up to 8.5 feet of max cargo length for long items. That combined capability turns the Trailblazer into a commuter-friendly ride during the week and a clever hauler for weekend projects or outdoor escapes.

Daily drivability starts with clear, intuitive tech. The standard 11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen makes menus feel close and legible, and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility keep your essentials within easy reach. Add the available Bose audio system for immersive sound on a highway cruise, and you have a cabin designed to simplify your routine. For shoppers who also want a confident stance when the weather turns, ACTIV’s off-road suspension tuning and functional skid plate are more than just a rugged look—they bring useful composure for gravel pull-offs, muddy trailheads, or unplowed side streets.

How does the Trailblazer make space feel bigger inside? Smart packaging. The rear seat offers comfortable room for adults, and the fold-flat front passenger seat unlocks the ability to carry items you’d normally leave to a pickup—think skis, planters, or flat-packed furniture. When your hands are full, an available Hands-Free Power Liftgate minimizes juggling. The result is a small SUV that enables more possibilities with less effort.

On the road, the available AWD system monitors wheel slip and proactively directs torque where it’s needed most. Pair that with drive modes that recalibrate throttle and traction control, and you get a crossover that feels surefooted without asking you to think about the details. RS brings a sport-focused look with a high-gloss Black mesh grille, larger wheel options, and a heated, wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel, while ACTIV emphasizes adventure with a distinctive grille, rugged tuning, and added underbody protection.

  • AWD confidence: Available AWD and three drive modes help optimize grip and response in rain, snow, or on gravel.
  • Big-gear energy: Standard fold-flat front passenger seat supports long items up to 8.5 feet, turning errands into one-trip wins.
  • Tech made simple: Standard 11-inch diagonal HD color touch-screen plus wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep your world connected.
  • Comfort and control: Available Bose audio, deep-tinted rear windows, and Push-Button Start elevate daily driving.
